Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g diced pork
  • 3 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 pepper
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed/finely chopped
  • 120 g bamboo shoots
  • 2 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tbps cider vinegar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (or more if you like it a bit spicy)

Instructions
 

  • Coat the diced pork in sesame oil, then in a food bag combine the cornflour and Chinese five spice together and then add the pork ensuring all of the pork has a light coating.
  • Line your air fryer with a piece of grease proof paper and then place the coated pork in the basket making sure that each piece of pork is separated. Cook at 180℃ for 25mins
  • While the pork is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a wok while slicing the onion and pepper. Add these to the wok and then with a vegetable peeler create ribbons with the carrot and add to the wok. Cook through for 4-5 mins, keeping everything moving.
  • Add the bamboo shoots and garlic and continue cook through
  • Add the sugar, honey, tomato puree, cider vinegar, soy sauce and chilli flakes to the wok, give it a good stir and then turn the heat down to low and leave it to bubble away. The sauce will naturally thicken - take it off the heat completely if it starts to get too thick or starts catching the bottom of the pan.
  • When the pork has finished cooking, add it to the wok and coat in the sauce. Serve over a portion of rice. At this point you could also finish with some finely sliced spring onions or toasted sesame seeds
